I don't want you to be stressed out about this challenge, but I do hope to MOTIVATE you. Finish something, start something, just don't be overwhelmed by everything - One Thing! You decide, what's reasonable for you to get done in a weeks time, and tell me your goal in the comments. Next Tuesday, I will have a linky and you can link to your blog/flickr post,

I so need this challenge! I'm already participating in the OPAM (one project a month) challenge, but I always seem to put my projects off until the end of the month. This challenge you're doing is great because it gives me baby steps to reach my one big end-of-month goal.

So, my goal for this week is to bind my "Home and Family" quilt. I want to show it in our local quilt show in a few weeks, but I hate binding and generally put it off until the day before!

My goal for this week is to finish up the top for my newest flying geese wall-hanging. I've been having weird issues with it, and the thing seems to have a mind of its own. I had an over-all plan, but then it decides it wants to be something else.

What a great way to motivate Amy, this week I aim to finish piecing my ORB Pinwheels top. I already have a quilt on the frame so it would a little too ambitious to hope to have it quilted and finished in that time, but we will see. I'll be happy with the top!

Oh man, I'd love to say that I could finish my quilt-top by the end of the challenge, but instead I'll go with the much more sensible goal of cutting all my pieces. : ) Thanks for the kick in the pants!

Hi, Amy! Such a great idea.... My goal for this week is to complete the remake of my friend's well loved but totally (I mean TOTALLY) shot quilt - it's going from an apple core pattern to a coins quilt. I've had it sitting around in various states of disassembly since January - but I really want to deliver it to her this coming Sunday!

I am going to finish hand quilting a lap quilt I started on last month. I was doing really good until husband got sick and had to spend a week in hospital in ICU and 6 weeks off work. It has been stressful financially and mentally and physically. His kidneys had shut down and they had to do dialysis on him, thought he would not make it. He did though! Went back to work today. Hopefully we will be able to catch everything up soon. Will you guys all keep us in your prayers?

My goal is to get caught up on my blocks for the quilt along and then get the pieces that I have ALREADY cut of partically sewn for my sons quilt sewn together. Doing these two things will clean off my kitchen breakfast bar. Yea!

Oh! I need this challenge! I hope to complete (start to finish) a sun dress for my 8 year old so she can take it for her week @ grandmas this weekend!Wow, that seems like a lot. Better get busy.Yay~! Thanks for the fun! :)

I am ready!! I know you said just 1 thing but I have a couple of small things that need to be done by a Birthday party on Sunday. I will get those done regardless so I want to commit myself to finishing a baby quilt top and quilting it ...I can do it!! Thanks for the challenge and good luck with you Dresden plates :o).

After completing a quilt in one week last week I'll keep this simple. I'm going to teach my neice how to sew by herself (so she can while I'm not there). Teaching her the basics of the machine, and bobbin winding etc. So she can set up shop at home (300miles away). :) I think we can manage this goal! I'll post pictures of our progress!

This week I am going to finish the shirt I started from "Crochet Adorned" by making the fabric bottom and sewing it all together. I don't have a blog, but would be happy to send a pic via email if that's okay.

Challenges get results. At present I have 3 quilts almost quilted, almost done with binding and too many quilts started to mention. This week I need to finish the binding on a quilt and send it off to the newlyweds that I made it for.I don't have a blog or flicker account but thanks for the challenge. Mary Jo

Yes, I need this callenge: I have a binding "phobia" - and it takes me forever to get them done. Now V from Bumblebeans needs quilts - and I challenge myself to get the Cowboy Circle Around finally bound for her/ BASICS this week. Ok, the clock's ticking....Thanks for the challenge!

No problem. I'm currently obsessed with a quilt made up of circles and modern log cabin squares all on a Kona Coffee background. Every time I pass my work table I convince myself I have time for "just one quick block" and then forget to get up again! So I don't even want to work on anything else right now (two quilts to layer and quilt, two more to finish binding, a charm pack to sew up...)!:)

I think this challenge will motivate me to set my own self imposed "finish something each week" deadline. My goal for the challenge is to finish the zigzag quilt that I started with your quiltalong last year!! I know, I know I am so naughty!! Hasn't stopped me buying more fabric though!! Thanks for the motivation Amy.

I posted my "Before" Picture of the Cross-Stitch I have been wanting to finish for 3+years. I also posted what it is to look like finished...Good Luck to everyone on getting there projects done....Lucy

I hope to get my doll quilt finished - trying out my new Juki machine with its quilting walking foot and then the binding! Originally posted the top about 2 months ago - I know that's not that long ago but it will still be great to get it finished!

Such a cool idea! My goal for this week is to get caught up with my quilting bee, which includes making the June and July blocks, and sending out my fabrics and instructions for my block which is for August.

This is such a good idea. I tend to get distracted by all the ideas and UFO's floating around. So, for this week, my goal is to finish one of the baby quilts I am working on; it needs a little more quilting and the binding.

my goal is to get the quilt top for my brand new girlie girl (my newest granddaughter) done. i'm using ivory spring's marabella pattern. so excited that it's coming together and as cute as i'd hoped. using different materials/colors than hers, but love the design.

Amy, this is such a good idea. I came home from vacation and started getting anxious about completing all my started projects... finally this morning realized I need to FOCUS and this is a great help. I am going to finish quilting and binding my circle quilt this week! (and make 6 blocks for my guild charity project too)

I'm sorry that I'm a bit late joining this challenge...been a real busy time at work...sigh...which realllllly gets in the way of my quilting! I want to finish my Schnibbles quilt for JUNE! ACK! Better late than never, right???? Polly from http://www.auntpollysporch.blogspot.com

My guild has their annual show coming up on the 31st and I REALLY want to have something to show oh so badly! All I gotta do is sandwich, quilt, and bind my first ever full sized quilt. I think that is managable and I needed the motivation so this challenge is the bee's knees!!! See ya in a week!

Thanks Amy, I need a challenge to get some things done! What to choose first?? I will finish sewing the blocks together for 2 child's quilts - all cut and sitting on the floor for me to trip over and/or mess up the setting. Thanks for the push!

Hi Amy,I've got a massive list!DH thinks I need the motivation,so first of all I will complete the 1st quilt I ever started that has now been 7 years in the making.Tonight I shall make a list of all that needs finishing.Georgie x
